Cares How Many Sheep Wolf

Quote Author

Greek - Philosopher
427 BC - 347 BC

So when the wolf pounces on your lamb, just ignore the pitiful bleating and remind yourself that this is a democracy, where every sheep can freely express its preference for which kind of wolf it wants to be eaten by. Many sheep, perhaps understandably, prefer a wolf in sheep's clothing, which is after all the basic idea of democracy. So far it has worked pretty well. The wolves all agree on that, and they want to spread democracy everywhere.

Joseph Sobran

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.

Abraham Lincoln

The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of liberty.

Abraham Lincoln

It is as if a wolf devoured a sheep and the sheep were so powerful that it transformed the wolf and turned him into a sheep. So, when we eat Christ's flesh physically and spiritually, the food is so powerful that it transforms us.

Martin Luther

Blaming the wolf would not help the sheep much. The sheep must learn not to fall in the clutches of the wolf.

Mahatma Gandhi

If a wolf attacks his sheep, the shepard kills the wolf, but he eats the sheep when he's hungry.

Charlie Higson

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.

Virgil

Nay, number itself in armies importeth not much, where the people is of weak courage; for, as Virgil saith, It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep be.

Francis Bacon

Ahmadinijad was stupid enbough to be a wolf in wolf's clothing, to expose his teeth and nails and alert the west. I can be a wolf in sheep's clothing. I have all the diplomatic and rhetoric skills to do so.

Hassan Rouhani

To protect the sheep, you gotta catch the wolf. And it takes a wolf to catch a wolf, you understand?

Denzel Washington

The wolf will never lose sleep, worrying about the feelings of sheep. But no-one ever told the sheep, that they outnumber the wolves.

Bray Wyatt

Pope Francis seems to be a much nicer man than Pope Benedict, but I'm not sure that his views on things that really matter are all that different. Whereas Benedict was perhaps a wolf in wolf's clothing, Francis is perhaps a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Richard Dawkins

I am not a wolf in sheep's clothing, I'm a wolf in wolf's clothing.

Ricky Gervais

Only a sheep with lion's heart can attack wolf, not the sheep with lion's teeth or with lion's claw!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

You wouldn't consider all the bipeds you pass on the street human beings simply because they walk upright and carry their young in their bellies nine months! It is obvious how many of them are fish or sheep, worms or angels, how many are ants, how many are bees!

Hermann Hesse

Why be the sheep when you can be the wolf?
